As always, the super Eagles are just a bunch of big name players. They are not a TEAM.

Of course, you have lots of love to shower on him just to have access to drain his pockets.

Tell me something new.

Lol. I no watch again. Can't come and be giving myself heart attack.

The Madagascar coach is a BETTER coach then Rorh. They are pressing the Eagles and forcing errors out of them.

At half time we need to score, Genot Rorh decides to bring in a defensive midfielder.

Abeg after this tournament just boot him out. And if you can't bring a seasoned tactician, just put Siasia there. Rubbish.

I usually don't like criticizing coaches quickly. But I am beginning to tire of Genot Rorh.

He is basically a German Arsene Wenger -- outdated and out of his depth in today's game.

Can you see how the Madagascar players press and Barry our players immediately they cross the midfield? That's how football is being played today. Compare that to our own style. Keep shifting back towards goal as the opponents pass it around. It's doing my head in.

We can't even create chances. Talk more of taking them.

Mtcheew. The Nigerian football heart attack continues.

Nigerian bloggers (MOST of 'em) NEVER suffer from writer's block or indeed any of these things.

All they do is copy, paste and publish. Okpari

Awol1:
I wonder how this woman's husband manages to kiss her?

So ugly I could throw up

You are NOT her husband. So shush and quit complaining on his behalf.

There's a topic on ground. You didn't comment on that, na her lips be your concern.

It's insults like these that made that Senegal striker Diatta to cry out few days ago. Make una learn to dey respect other people na.

Cool. Until we learn our lessons as a Nation, we will continue to attract ridicule and hate from other Nations.

How can Nigerians justify fraud? Is Nigeria the only country in the world where there are no jobs? Are we the only country suffering?

The name Nigeria is now on the lips of every Tom, Dick and Harry. Even in Canada where people are welcomed with so much open hands, just mention that you're a Nigerian these days and watch how their countenance changes.

The name Nigeria has now become a stigma.

The worst part is that many of us are treating this issue with kids' gloves. Very soon, not only Africans will be chasing us from their country, other Nations from Western world will do the same and the full effects of our atrocities as a people will become glaring to all.

P.S. As usual, people are trying to deflect this embarrassing situation talking about mundane things like population, jealously, music, bla bla bla. SMH

We are NOT ready to become serious in this country. The wools will fall off our eyes one day. And I hope it won't be too late a situation to salvage then.

Seriously, y'all be admiring that tent of poo and all that until she stands barebutt nãked in front of you. You will feel like puking.

News of the weekend. And BBN is lurking by the corner ready to take over from this. NL mods will have a busy weekend indeed.

TSRC:

The senegalese were not technical enough then
Good Technique always win strength.

No matter how physical algeria is against uruguay or columbia, dem go still chop am.

Yeah, that's what I am trying to say too. It's why the Europeans and South Americans wipe the floor with our teams when we meet at the international stage.

The Algerians were just too physical and man handled Senegal with the ref not having a firm grip on the game. If there was VAR, Senegal would have won a penalty.

African football is once again proving to be a game of muscles and brawn. Very little technicality involved.

I am hoping to see more interesting match ups as from the Quarter Finals, though.

Ndidi was my man of the match.

Why the big teams are not looking at this young man is baffling.

Congrats Eagles. Some good news to share in these days of gloomy news in Nigeria.

Nigeria need to up their game. Competition thickens as tournament progresses. Congrats to them, though.

vicardino:
I pity whoever thinks this coach knows his onion

I used to support him. But it's now obvious he is totally out of his depth.

ayayamedia:
Someone epp us tell Nabi Keita that he should not overdo!
No be today Nigeria dey humble big club players! Ask Eto'o & Drogba.

Keita's lame attempts at impressing whoever-he-believes-is-watching...will only get him injured.

Lol. Don't mind him. Ndidi will give him take away just now before his body will cool down.

Can't lie or be sentimental -- that was boring asf.

African football has a long way to go. We depend on power and brawns too much. No brains. That's why European and South American teams wipe us with the floor at the world stage.

By the way, I am beginning to have issues with this Gernot Rohr.

Why is Chukwueze on the bench? Why insist on starting Akpeyi the "shaking leaf"? Why don't our fullbacks bomb forward to occupy space created by our wingers who drift infield?

If I can see these things... I wonder how a well-paid coach seemingly misses them.

Lol. The guy has been hit by the famous Nigerian internet warlords! "I hate this social media shít " he says

If there's one thing Nigerians are good at it is coming together to arrack anyone that (seemingly) insults Nigeria or a famous Nigerian. They fúcking don't hold back.

I saw this on The Dailymail website and the shít-talking from some English fans on there was so disgusting to say the least. I don't blame them, though. The Cameroonian players did not exactly cover themselves in glory with some of their behavior today.

LarryBee1k:


But you're not.

What's your point?

Don't want to EVER see Akpeyi near that goal again. What a clown! What is Genot Roth even thinking having him in goal?

Good to start with a win, though. Hopefully, we get to improve as the tourney goes on.

Mikel kills Nigeria's gameplay and how this coach doesn't see that baffles me. He plays in a deeper role in his club. But whenever he comes here we play him in 10. It's obvious he is finished there. Either play him alongside Ndidi in CM and play Iwobi in 10 or drop him totally.

I LOVE Chukwueze. Been a loooooong time I have been so excited about a Nigerian player.

Hope we get the goals second half, though

philip0906:
Francisca Ordega is the only top notch player in our team. They can't string 4 complete passes.

I have noticed that these white footballers don't look masculine but they are tactically sound, intelligent play and tactically aware.

Okobi has seriously good technique too. But she can't show it when all she spends her time doing is defending and covering spaces off the ball.

This team is very unbalanced and playing with shit tactics too.

I wonder why people are surprised.

Life works on principles -- preparation and hard work are needed to be successful in anything.

The Super Falcons are NOT given the right treatment and preparation. Just imagine that in the whole of 2017 they didn't come together as a team to play. Then you expect them to come and usurp people that have been playing together for years in preparation for this tourney? Life doesn't work like that

Also, the NFF should stop hiring clowns in the name of coaches (the super Eagles included). If you want to hire a foreign coach go for a really sound one. Otherwise hire a local guy that will give us the same heart attacks as these foreign guys for way more less pay.

P.S. If these girls manage to find the net today, it should be considered a mini victory in itself.

Meanwhile, in mymy country boys scammm people of their hard-earned money through this same internet. And find a way to justify it. Levels.

African countries, apart from a few, are seemingly cursed! What kind of useless, backward leaders do we keep churning out?

When I see 'little' countries like Albania with little resources thriving so well with superb basic amenities, citizen-friendly policies, I weep for Africa.

You also know what is shocking? Our 'leaders' are not the ONLY problem (although, they are majorly the problem), us as citizens are also contributing to the backwardness of the motherland. It's so frustrating, really!

One of the best sports analysts we have.

I was thoroughly impressed with his half time analysis of both games yesterday. And he is very articulate too. Safe to say Mr. Yobo is doing well for himself and making his family proud.

Does anyone here do Upwork withdrawals?

I have $297 available. Kindly let me know.

charliboy654:
Who do we believe, the man or the hospital,
Anyway RIP to the woman.

The man.

Because the way he described it is exactly how Nigerian hospitals behave. From top to bottom, there's no regard for human life in this disgusting country.

There are some news you just look at and be WO seeing:

"What should I comment now?"

BabaIbo:


All of them are the same, Nigeria is even better than Kenya

Bro, you don't know Kenyan. Y'all act as if you know them. The chicks from most part of Eastern Africa and Southern Africa are not to be joked with. A GOOD number of them are FIRE!

They are a lot more reasonable and intelligent than their male counterparts.

Generally speaking, Nigerian girls can't hold a candle to their South African counterparts. When you hear of boss lady, go to Nairobi and Southie and see ladies that are working and doing fine for themselves. They drive classy rides and are independent. Unlike the teeming number of leeches you have in Naija. It's just that we have to support our own, that's why we still defend them outside.

samtol4:
The goals Ighalo scored are mostly tap in and penalties . Give this Osimhen same opportunity Ighalo missed at world cup and see goals . When Osimhen scored at under 17 u guys said he is still a boy now he scored under 23 yet not ready for eagles ? Give OSI same balls given to Ighalo

I don't know how some of you so-called fans reason.

There are countries that will die to have Ighalo in their team. And they will worship him. Just loom at what you are saying "most of his goals are tap ins". What will you say about Aubameyang?

You think it's easy to move around in the D-box, escape the attention of defenders and make yourself available for a tap-in? Abeg make una dey take am easy.

Because Oshimhen (a good player, btw) scored 3 goals today he should be drafted into the senior team and Ighalo should be made to sit on the bench? Bros, it doesn't work that way. Strikers miss big goals and as long as they keep banging it in, then forget about the ones they missed and celebrate the ones they score. This issue of y'all getting hung up on the goal Ighalo missed at the World Cup is becoming annoying.

I bet you, if it was Iwobi that missed that no one would be talking about it today. But because it's Ighalo y'all don't want to give it a rest. Players are humans too, never forget that.
